ABORTION INJUSTICE
I think it is most frightfully unjust and unfair that in the case of this crime of sheer murder of the unborn helpless innocents, only one party—the one who performs the operation—should be punished. The woman and the man who have given the life and then destroyed it by a third party should be equally punished. If in every case of this sort all the persons concerned—no matter what their station in life, whether poor or rich, married or singleshould be given the utmost publicity and their full names and addresses published. I guess this would go a long way to cure this evil, which is 1000 times more dreadful than s the drink question. In the case of married women it is the result of girls rushing into matrimony when hardly out of their childhood and who marry, in some cases, for a home or for the sake of being married, and they do not want children. Instead of wails and whines women could do more good by taking up this question above all others and insist that all the parties concerned should be equally punished and not just one. It is most unjust. DISGUSTED.
